I needed to hire a land surveyor, so I could obtain a plot plan for permits for a new deck and…read morefence. I felt unsure of which companies to contact, so I asked my township for their recommendations. My township emailed me a list of survey companies that other residents have used, and Allegheny Land Surveying was one of those companies. From that list and other recommendations, I contacted several survey companies to determine their availability and prices. Only two companies were available. Compared to the other company, Allegheny Land Surveying had slightly earlier availability and a slightly lower price, so I hired them. I coordinated this job through their business manager Cindy, and she was always friendly and prompt in her communication. I paid a 50% deposit at the time of the appointment booking, and then I paid the remaining 50% when they completed the fieldwork for the survey. Please note that they accept only checks and money orders, NOT credit cards or electronic payments. My Certified Boundary Survey included the following: county research, field work, staking with iron rebar and wire flags, PA One Call, and a certified plot plan. I had worried that the snowy winter weather would delay my survey, but Allegheny Land Surveying stayed on schedule, and they started my survey exactly on time. Two employees arrived at my house at 9:20 AM, and they finished at 10:45 AM. One employee, Zack, politely introduced himself to me at the beginning of the appointment, and he thoroughly explained the stakes and boundaries at the end of the appointment and wished me a great day. One business day later, Allegheny Land Surveying emailed me a PDF of my plot plan, which I will now use to obtain permits for my new deck and fence. They are also mailing me hard copies of the plot plan via snail-mail. Overall, I feel very thankful for Allegheny Land Surveying's availability, pricing, courteous personalities, and high-quality survey. Tip: If you anticipate hiring a land surveyor for a spring or summer project, then I highly recommend that you hire the surveyor in the winter, because the surveyors can get very busy starting in March.

Professional, on time, and very helpful. Highly recommend if you need a property survey.read more

We hired MDM to subdivide about 30 acres of land in order to facilitate the sale of some of the…read moreproperty and to fix a couple problems with the current subdivision. From the beginning of the project, MDM provided us with good ideas of how to accomplish our goals. MDM representatives had a thorough knowledge of what was needed. We were told from the beginning what to expect in the process. I was amazed at how our surveyor anticipated possible obstacles to our plan and ways to work around them. Ultimately, we had to appear before our township planning and commission for approval. I can't say enough about the value of MDM's assistance. They were worth every penny we invested in their services. I had no prior experience working with a surveying company. At times it was frustrating because during the summer they get super busy with outdoor work and aren't always available. But, what really counts is their knowledge and their willingness to share it. MDM did everything right in the assistance they provided us. We are 100% satisfied customers.

I asked him what the back of my property had to do with the persons that ordered the survey as the back of the property is not touching theirs. He was rude and dismissive to any questions I asked and basically said there to get the information needed for their survey.

My property lines were obviously skewed on Google Maps and realtor sites and I was having an issue with someone possibly dumping into my yard. I tried to determine my residential property lines on my own by going through Allegheny Records and getting a metal detector to find monuments. Could not find anything. When I was getting quotes, I got a wide range of quotes from neighbors and businesses. I initially chose Arpenteur because of their good reviews and Joan gave me the lowest quote from anyone. When it was time for my appointment, Mark and Scott arrived early and got to work quickly. Once they had gotten their markings, they walked the property with me and asked where I would like to see additional monuments. Turns out, there weren't any to begin with which explains why I couldn't find any. Mark and Scott were exceedingly friendly and helpful, and now I have a completely different picture of where my property is. I would highly recommend anyone who is in a dispute or just wants to know how far their kids can play to call up Arpenteur and get their lot surveyed.

The 90 year old home was completely stripped down to the studs and renovated by Pittsburgh Property Guy. After living in the house for nearly a year, I can attest to the very high level of quality and craftsmanship that he put into this home. The home inspector even commented to me prior to purchasing that he's seen a lot of renovated homes, and this one was clearly done right. He used high end finishes like Brazilian Cherry floors, granite kitchen counters, and marble in the master bathroom. He also took the time to have the brick cleaned on the outside of the house, exposed and restored original woodwork, vaulted the 3rd floor to create even more livable space. Everywhere you look, you can see that time and thought was put into the final product. It's been so nice having friends and family comment on the beauty and quality of the renovation too! Aside from the quality craftsmanship, Pittsburgh Property Guy himself provided top notch customer service to me when I had questions or minor issues that I encountered. He worked with me directly via phone and email, and was always very quick to respond. It was clear that my happiness as his customer was important to him, and that's not something that should be overlooked! If you're thinking about buying one of his properties, you're in safe hands.
